The online brokerage platform XTB is stepping up its commercial expansion strategy in France with the launch of its new « Free Stock » promotional campaign. Until September 25, 2026, investors residing in France who open a brokerage account using the dedicated partner code can receive a free Warner Bros Discovery share. This initiative is part of a well-established development model for the broker, which uses the distribution of stocks as a primary lever to grow its user base and encourage engagement with its trading interface.
The process for obtaining this reward is strictly governed by timing and activity requirements. New clients must enter the promotional code during registration, make a minimum deposit of 50 euros within seven days, and execute an initial transaction within fifteen days. Precision is essential: any failure to meet these deadlines renders the offer void. Once these criteria are validated, the entertainment company's share is automatically credited to the user's account, typically within three business days.
The asset offered to new investors is drawing particular attention due to its recent market performance. Warner Bros Discovery stock has recorded a spectacular 153% gain over a twelve-month period, driven by significant news surrounding major merger and acquisition rumors and projects. Although the price has reached approximately 28.50 dollars, investors should keep in mind that this valuation is closely tied to speculation regarding a buyout by Paramount Skydance, a transaction for which the completion timeline has been pushed back to mid-2027.
For the broker, the objective of this campaign goes beyond a simple welcome gift. By offering shares of listed companies, XTB is capitalizing on the democratization of investing among the French public. The business model then relies on client retention beyond promotional offers, through a progressive commission system and currency conversion fees. However, it is worth noting that all activity on financial markets, even when facilitated by platforms regulated by the AMF, carries intrinsic risks of capital loss, requiring prudent management by users.
